Originally we had only planned to stay in Koh Lanta for three days. We liked it so much, we stayed for a week. Well, Jay getting sick, then getting the computer fixed also made us stay, but we didn’t mind. We decided to forego other islands, mainly Ko Jun, which is supposed to be very remote, but what we would pay for accommodations made it seem not worthwhile.

I think a major reason we wanted to go to Ko Jun was because the northern part of the island is called Ko Poo, and we’re both juvenile. (more…)

During our stay at the Diamond Sands Resort, Jay’s computer still refused to work (it had stopped working again while at the last resort). Like most people, we simply hoped it would fix itself. Spoiler Alert: It did not.

At the beginning of our east side adventure, we decide to pop into a cell phone store that claims it fixes phones, tablets and laptops. Lazy computer isn’t doing its job by fixing itself, so we give this a shot. The ‘Mac’ guy isn’t in yet, so we continue on with our adventure. (more…)

Determined to check out the southern part of Koh Lanta, we rented another scooter and took off, this time in the correct direction. The roads this way are much more steep and curvy. The further south you drive, the less people you encounter. (more…)
